Slyce: What inspired you to become an Author?

LJ: I have been writing since I was a young girl. I once won first place in a writing contest but my parents could not afford to fly me to Chicago to claim my prize. I knew then I would continue writing and share my stories with the world.

Slyce: What is the name of your publishing company?

LJ: Major Ink Publications.

Slyce: In what genre do you write?

LJ: Romance Suspense (For now) I plan to venture into the mystery and thriller world soon.

Slyce: What excited you about your genre?

LJ: Love excites me over all. I love a good romance story and I love creating characters who have taboo relationships. The Gemini in me causes me to create love stories with twists and turns. Love should be fun and interesting anyway 😉

Slyce: Have you ever penned under another name?

LJ: No.

We value our readers opinions and love hearing their feedback. This helps when we decide to continue to our next projects. We keep in mind the responses we received from our readers.

Slyce: How important are interviews?

LJ: Word of mouth, flyers, interviewing, and networking.

Slyce: Do you feel a new Author should have a “Team”?

LJ: Yes I do. I do not think this is a business you can do alone. Even if you self publish I feel you will need the help with marketing, branding, etc. Plus its good to learn from others who can bring a different area of expertise.

Slyce: What was one of your biggest mistake you made as a “New Author”?

LJ: Not researching the editing process 😀 I hate it.

Slyce: What goals do you wish to achieve as a Author?
